Gaelic Song Milling Frolic Workshop

The early Scottish Highland settlers that came to Cape Breton brought their song traditions with them when they "waulked" the cloth, singing as they milled it around table.

This is a social and musical occasion still recreated in today's Cape Breton. Mary Jane Lamond will lead this event, which is a "sing after me" format in a group seated around a table. There is no experience necessary in either song or Gaelic. It is the purest of oral traditions, and a lot of fun. Vancouver Island University Cafeteria.
